  On the night he dies, August Sweeney is just pulling himself out of the weeds in the restaurant that was supposed to be his comeback. An immense man of immense appetites, August worked his way up from the bowels of a greasy spoon in Queens to international culinary stardom, and his fall, when it came, left a crater visible from space. When Dr. Maya Zhu, a guarded, intense autopsist, is summoned to investigate, she discovers she must operate under strict conditions Sweeney himself dictated before he died. Over the course of a single day, Zhu's fate becomes forever tied to Sweeney's, and her life, and his death, will change in ways she never imagined. For August Sweeney isn't about to let a little thing like death stop him from raising hell. 
   
   
   
  This is a novel of fame, food, and forensics: The Bear meets Bones. It's a book to make you hungry and ease your fear of death. Ashworth spent weeks working as a prep cook in a Michelin-starred restaurant in France, and learning to perform autopsies at a hospital in Pittsburgh. The result is an unprecedentedly accurate depiction of the restaurant industry, as well as a true New York novel, spanning fifty years of the city's turbulent growth. More than anything, it's a book about the body and its appetites, one that forces us to rethink what it means to live, and what it means to die.

  She wants one night, he wants forever.  
  Three reasons I slept with my best friend’s brother by Paisley Macallister: 
  1. We laughed all night, the drinks were strong, and I needed to sleep somewhere. 
  2. I have a weakness for military men. 
  3. I know he won’t kiss and tell. 
  … but lord when he kisses, he makes me forget I’ve completely broken the best friend code. 
  So when he makes me a no strings attached offer, I figure we’ve already done it once. But Hank has never been the type for casual. He’s husband material, and I should’ve seen the problems with this plan from the beginning.  
  As good as he makes me feel, the ink’s just dried on my divorce papers. I’m no longer the girl he knows.  
  The Girl He Knows is a standalone book and can be read without reading the others. But you'll probably want to because this group of friends will draw you in, make you laugh, and warm your heart. And the men of Daytona Beach? Oh, they're sexy, protective, and striving to make the loves of their lives happy.

  Mallory Meets His Match

  Kevin Mallory’s self-centered mindset and utter lack of knowledge of the world don’t keep him from being picked as a vice presidential candidate, but they may keep him from converting his friendship with no-nonsense Kathie into anything resembling a romance. 
  His career as a grudging Customer Support Representative at the UniCast Cable Company is in jeopardy, his car has been repossessed, his finances are in the dumpster, his co-worker in the next cubicle hates him, and he’s failed at every romantic quest he ever started. 
  His disenchanted young friend, Spike, recreates him as a cartoonish internet avatar of outrage, fulminating against the social activists who he imagines are responsible for his below-average life. Mallory's brand of outrage is phenomenally successful, but his skyrocketing career is pulling him out of the orbit of the only woman in whom he has ever taken a mature interest.

  I Am Like This Only!

  Welcome to I Am Like This Only! Before you start flipping through the pages, let me offer a quick word of advice: prepare yourself for a good laugh! This book isn't your typical political drama or an intellectual deep dive into governance. Far from it! It’s a light-hearted romp through the world of politics, filled with quirks, comedy, and the kind of misadventures that can only come from one very unique individual. 
  Our main character, Dewan, is unlike anyone you’ve ever encountered. He has his own way of doing things, his own rules (which he often ignores), and an approach to life that is best described as… unconventional. Some might call him eccentric, others might call him unpredictable, but Dewan himself would probably just say, “I am like this only!” 
  In this story, nothing is ever quite what you’d expect, and that’s exactly the point. We often take life too seriously, but through Dewan’s escapades, you’ll see that a little humour, a bit of wit, and a touch of madness can make all the difference. 
  I’m not going to spoil what’s ahead, but I promise it will keep you smiling, chuckling, and possibly shaking your head in disbelief. This book is a celebration of embracing life’s quirks and laughing at our own imperfections. So, buckle up and get ready for a whirlwind of fun and surprises. 
  Enjoy the ride, and remember: life is much more enjoyable when you don’t take it too seriously. 
  Warm regards, 
  Anshumala Singh
